The Birth of FORGIVEN -. It started in the winter of 2012 with a word from the Lord to Velma Childers as she traveled down a road in Kentucky. She called me to say, "I keep hearing the Lord say 'St. James Episcopal Church', what is happening to that church?" After hearing that, in fact, it was for sale she started the journey toward the purchase of what is now "FORGIVEN" Church. The first word from the Lord birthed the church, but since then many words from the Lord have blessed our community -- "hot off the press" words that people hunger for and grow from; words that have transformed many lives. Come one, come all! Velma's desire from the beginning has been "Unity for the Community" and the best thing about a service at FORGIVEN is that no one knows and no one cares what church anyone attends --a service here is all about honoring the Lord "with one voice" as the Body of Christ! -- Cam Blanton
